Rumors of a Pova and Dimitrov split. I never believed they would last.
the pairing always looked like a mother son relationship...Grigor always looked like pova s first born ,the child she had when she was 16yrs...never looked sexy together.

OMG this is so funny..... I can't stop laughing.

Four years difference and she's his mother? :nono

Anyway, since no one has cited anything:

she is very very annoying...thank goodness she is so mediocre we dont get to see her in later rounds.I prefer Genie to this one because she is focused on her tennis and doesnt spent time too much on social media talking about blah blah blah.

Now that she has denied, I believe they broke up.

It is not about the number of years. Somehow, when I see them together I don't
get the feeling of two equals having right chemistry. At best it is more of an
apprentice-tutor relationship.

pova never had chemistry with Sasha....with that Camille Belle the chemistry was off the chain.

This I don't get. It's not your relationship to understand, it's theirs. And to make the point of apprentice-tutor, that's a fan observation, but has nothing to do with them, in fairness. Two people, under 30, who work in the same complicated environment, might well find a lot in common, and the hormone thing goes without saying.

Peng,Hsieh to end partnership after WTA Championships.

The former No1 Doubles Team of Peng and Su-We Hseih will not play together next year,indicates Peng.
Peng is playing with Andrea Hlavackova this week while Hseih is at the Asian Games.
The Chinese-Taiwanese pair attracted attention for their success as well as for the political significance of their nationalities,an issue they both liked to avoid.

The reigning Roland Garos champions will play together again at the WTA Championships and then begin the search for new partners.

"But still we will play together in the doubles matches in Singapore because we made the promise that we will play out the matches of this year," Peng told a press conference."Next year she will find a new partner and I will also find a new one,but currently I am not sure who she will be."

I honestly don't know how any player survives in a relationship. They travel nearly 75% of the year!

OMG so true she talk so much crap on twitter. I don't care for either one of them. Neither one of them will be slam winners.

I''ve never really seen them together, but then again I do not follow anything Maria.

This is exactly where it's harder for the women than the men, IMO. Plenty of women are willing to be the WAG of a tennis player, but men are not so willing to give up their identities to travel with a tennis player. Renfoo was unusual, in that he had his own flexible schedule. But the men are clearly not as pressured to choose between personal life and the peripatetic life of a tennis player.
